Ok, I searched a little using the Googler at indiana.edu's archives but nothing jumped up and bit me. I'm not too excited about applying a patch snarfed out of an e-mail anywat. I'm surprised no one else has not complained about this enough to the point where you guys don't have a canned answer with a link. Is this problem not considered important?
Does anyone know which RH patch in the 2.4.18-10 RPM adds this elevator throughput "improvement"? What identifiers would such a patch have in it?
Thanks, Mike
